We get rid of ALL limits on visas, as long as they go to people making 100k+ and the company pays a 25k tax to the government.
Win-win for the US, right?
The problem with the H1B visa is that it is a freaking lottery. We should NOT be assigning these visas randomly.
We should be auctioning them to the highest bidder. That would ensure that Americans don't get undercut, and the US gains a shit ton of tax revenue.
That in turn will drive the best and brightest to stay home and not come to the US educational system.
Keep in mind, also, that few of the ideas on this thread haven't already been implemented by some country (Canada, Australia, etc.). It would behoove politicians to look at the resulting data instead of voting on measures that affect groups they don't care to understand.
If they aren't then they won't be able to demand this high salary.
No one is going to get $100k straight out of college outside SF.
